Deuteronomy 5:17

Context
NETBible

You must not murder. 1 

XREF

Ex 20:13; Mt 5:21,22

NET © Notes

tn Traditionally “kill” (so KJV, ASV, RSV, NAB). The verb here (רָצַח, ratsakh) is generic for homicide but in the OT both killing in war and capital punishment were permitted and even commanded (Deut 13:5, 9; 20:13, 16-17), so the technical meaning here is “murder.”
